Flash flood watch issued

The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch for several regions throughout Utah, including Utah's Dixie, Glen Canyon Recreation Area and Zion National Park.

The watch is in effect until 10 p.m. this evening. The Weather Service predicts that numerous showers and thunderstorms will develop over the southern two-thirds of Utah on Sunday afternoon as the result of an "extremely moist airmass" over the region. The bulletin says storms will be "efficient rain producers" and heavy rains are possible.

The flash flood threat is greatest over burn scars, as well as slot canyons and normally dry washes. Urban flooding is also possible.

A flash flood watch means conditions may develop that lead to flooding. Residents are urged to take precautions and be prepared to take action should flash flood warnings be issued.
